[Verse 1]
Boots in the dust, my soul in the grind,
Heart got evicted, left love behind.
Hammer in hand, I’m clockin' my pain,
Each nail I drive sings a lonely refrain.
[Chorus]
Workin' on broken dreams, can't patch the seams,
Layin' foundations but she’s in my schemes.
Sweat on my brow, tears mix in the stream,
Building a future, but lost my queen.
[Verse 2]
Rusted old truck, it’s a 9-to-5 steed,
Cracked photo on the dash, a wound that won’t recede.
Whiskey whispers in the dark, I drown where I bleed,
But the steel in my hands is the only creed.
[Chorus]
Workin' on broken dreams, can't patch the seams,
Layin' foundations but she’s in my schemes.
Sweat on my brow, tears mix in the stream,
Building a future, but lost my queen.
[Bridge]
The bossman barks, keeps me in line,
His world ticking, but I’m out of time.
Weldin' my heart shut with each new climb,
A working man's blues wrapped in old grime.
[Verse 3]
Saw her ghost in the shimmer of the moonlight's fall,
Her laughter’s the echo in these canyon walls.
Wish I could rewind, break it back to the start,
Shattered dreams weigh heavy on a broke-down heart.
